Thankfully, Blizzard is continuing its trend of how players can unlock the skin, moving away from the old tried and true RNG lootbox method to something a little more reasonable. Here’s how to unlock Mardi Gras Ashe inOverwatch.
How To Unlock Mardi Gras Ashe
As expected, players will need to bewinning matches during the next two weeks. In total, players will need to win nine total games to earn the colorful skin. This can be done within Quick Play, Competitive Play, or any Arcade mode. A tracker will keep tabs of the total wins at the top of the screen, similar to past events as well.
Rewards
While the Ashe skin may be the ultimate reward and end goal for many players, Blizzard is offering a few additional items during the length of the event as well. Winning three games unlocks two player icons ofAshe and Bob, while six wins earns a new Mardi Gras spray.
If players head to Twitch.tv to check out some participating streams for even more rewards. These are based on the total watch time and can unlock a total of 5 additional sprays. Two hours earns the first spray, four hours unlocks the next two, and watching for a total of six hours earns the final two. These include a festive Wrecking Ball, bead heavy Zenyatta, Torbjorn and Brigitte enjoying some snacks, King of Mardi Gras McCree, Party Lucio, and Masquerade Reaper.
Players have until March 9 to grab as much loot as they can before the festival ends, which should be plenty of time to score some wins in the game as well asthe newly added Experimental Modeand perhaps have Twitch.tv running in the background for some bonuses.
